The Future Continuous is formed with will be followed by the -ing form (present participle) of the main verb. The same form is used for all subjects — there is no conjugation of will.
The rules for the -ing form are the same as for all continuous tenses:
-ing → work → working · travel → travelling · wait → waiting-e: drop e, add -ing → drive → driving · write → writingThe Future Continuous places an action in progress at a specific point or period in the future. Where the Future Simple (will) says something will happen, the Future Continuous says something will be happening — it will already be in progress when the future moment arrives. Think of a camera pointed at a future moment: the Future Continuous is what it shows when it gets there.
The Future Continuous is used in four main situations. Each exercise page below focuses on one use, with a full explanation and five exercise sets.
Use the Future Continuous when an action will already be in progress at a particular moment in the future. The action starts before that moment and continues through it. Example: At midnight, I will be sleeping. When you arrive, she will be cooking dinner.
Use the Future Continuous when an action will occupy a stretch of future time — filling a whole period from start to finish. Example: I'll be working all day tomorrow. They'll be travelling throughout the summer.
Use the Future Continuous to describe a repeated or habitual action that will occur regularly over a temporary future period — but is not a permanent arrangement. Example: I'll be commuting by train every day while my car is being repaired.
Use the Future Continuous to describe future plans or arrangements, often as a polite and natural alternative to going to. It sounds more natural and less abrupt when asking about or describing what someone has planned. Example: Will you be attending the conference? I'll be meeting the client on Thursday.
